Conditions of Sale 


1. Rejection of Bids. Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article 
offered or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by the auctioneer 
if in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 


2. The Buyer. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises between two or 
more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for resale the lot soin dispute. 


3. Identification and Part Payment by Buyer. The name of the buyer of each lot 
shall be given immediately on the sale thereof and, when so required, each buyer shall sign a 
card giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her name and address. 
Payment at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the purchase 
prices as may be required. 
If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so purchased may at 
the option of the auctioneer be put up again and resold. 


4. Risk after Purchase. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer and 
thereafter neither the consignor nor the Association is responsible for the loss or any damage 
to any article occasioned by theft, fire, breakage or any cause. 


5. Delivery of Purchases. Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon payment 
of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. 

Deliveries will be made at the place of sale or at the Storage warehouse to which purchases 
may have been removed. 

Deliveries at the American Art Galleries will be made only between the hours of nine a. m. 
and one p. m. on sales’ days and on other days—except holidays, when no deliveries will be 
made—between the hours of nine a. m. and five p. m. 

Deliveries at places of sale other than the American Art Galleries will be made only during 
the forenoon following the day of sale unless by special notice or arrangement to the contrary. 

Deliveries at the Storage warehouse to which goods may have been sent will be made on any 
day other than holidays between the hours of nine and five. 

Deliveries of any purchases of small articles likely to be lost or mislaid may be made at the 
discretion of the auctioneer during the session of the sale at which they were sold. 


6. Storage in Default of Prompt Payment and Calling for Goods. Articles not 
paid for in full and either not called for by the purchaser or delivered upon his or her order by 
noon of the day following that of the sale will be turned over by the Association to some carter 
to be carried to and stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery therefrom to the 
purchaser, and the cost of such cartage and storage will be charged against the purchaser and 
the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will be upon the purchaser. 
Norte: The limited space of the Delivery Rooms of the Association makes the above require- 
ments necessary, and it is not alone for the benefit of the Association, but also for that of its pa- 
trons, whose goods otherwise would have to be so crowded as to be subject to damage and loss. 


7. Shipping. Boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which the Association is in 
no wise engaged, and will not be performed by the Association for purchasers. The Association 
will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable 
rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on its 
part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service. 


8. Guaranty. The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly and 
endeavours therein and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error, defect or imperfec- 
tion, but guaranty is not made either by the owner or the Association of the correctness of 
the description, genuineness, authenticity or condition of any lot and no sale will be set aside 
on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing or imperfection not noted or pointed 
out. Every lot is sold “as is” and without recourse. 

Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and the Association will 
give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any lot has been 
incorrectly catalogued and in its judgment may thereafter sell the lot as catalogued or make 


mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby will become responsible for such damage 


as might result were his opinion without foundation. 


9. Buying on Order. Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible parties on 
orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph or telephone will be faithfully attended to without 
charge or commission. Any purchases so made will be subject to the foregoing conditions of 
sale except that in the event of purchases consisting of one or more books for one who has not 
himself or through his agent been personally at the exhibition or sale, any book may be re- 
turned within ten days of the date of sale and the purchaser will be refunded the purchase 
money therefor, if the book in any material manner differs from its catalogue description. 

Orders for execution by the Association should be written and given with such plainness as 
to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given, but also the 
title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the lot consists of one or 
more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per volume or piece should be also stated. If 
the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit should be sent or 
reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. 

Priced copies of the catalogue of any sale or any session thereof will be furnished by the 
Association at charges commensurate with the duties involved in copying the necessary 
information from the records of the Association.

(Southwark, London: Peter Treveris, circa 1521] 


[See Frontispiece for Illustration] 


Although this book has neither title-page, date, printer’s name, or place of publi- 
cation, it is well known to be the Second Edition of Arnold’s Chronicle, printed by 
Peter Treveris about 1521. The First Edition was printed at Antwerp in 1503. 

EXCEEDINGLY FINE Copy, COMPLETE AND UNUSUALLY LARGE, measuring 934 by 7 
inches. The blank leaves at beginning and end are lacking, the text of last leaf and 
of several other leaves has been almost invisibly inlaid, but otherwise, a wonderfully 
fresh, clean copy, with the three original leaves from the first edition inserted, con- 
taining the first known printing of the famous old English ballad, “The Nut-Browne 
Maid, which is printed on folios N 6, 07 and o ii, in both editions, these leaves in the 
First Edition being numbered, folios Ixxv, Ixxvi and Ixxvii. ARNOoLD’s “Chronicle” 
is best known because this old ballad is first preserved on its pages. The fact that the 
PRESENT Copy CONTAINS BOTH THE FIRST AND SECOND PRINTING OF THE BALLAD 
MAKES IT DOUBLY VALUABLE AND INTERESTING. 

This curious old work, fcr which the name “Chronicle” is a misleading title, it being 
rather a “Commonplace Book,” contains a list of the London sheriffs, a guide for 


_ writing business letters, a list of the London churches, recipes for making inks, anda 


variety of other miscellaneous information, and in the midst of this, with no apparent 
reason for its appearance is printed, “The Nut-Browne Maid.

This work, written by Bale during his exile, was published on his return to London

ever, confined to a history of block-books, for it gives minute accounts, accompanied 
by exact facsimiles, of some of the most interesting and rare works printed with 
movable type in the infancy of the art, such as,—the Donatusis, Doctrinale, Catonis

tion, through the process of picking, drying, packing and expcrting. | 

The production of silk is illustrated in a series of 12 plates, beginning with the 7 
gathering of Mulberry leaves for the silkworm, the rearing of the latter to the 
cocoon state, the actual production of the silk, its manufacture from the first to the 
last stage, until it is a finished product. The scenes are principally in the open, 


thus giving greater scope to the artist, who has given backgrounds of mountains 
and landscape to his pictures.

First Epit1on. This is a scurrilous attack, principally on Mossop, who was at that 
time leading actor with Garrick. The author, Edward Purdon, was compelled to 
publish an apology whichappeared in the LondonChronicle and was dated October12, 
1759, therefore the above pamphlet should have date “1759” instead “1769” which 
was apparently a printer’s error. Lowe in his Bibliography, p. 140, states that the 
peed tote be 1759” and “This apology, which is a most abject production, was 

ated, 1759.”

554. [Garrick (Davip).] The Fribbleriad. Rare portrait of Fitzgig. 4to, new 
boards, with annotation, in ink, on title “By Garrick.” London, 1761 


First EpITIon. Fitzgig, the principal person in this poem, is a caricature of Fitz- 
patrick, and is a most ludicrous picture of an effeminate character. Churchill attacks 
him furiously in the “Rosciad,” describing him as “A motley Figure of the Fribble 
tribe,” and representing him as a most despicable and contemptuous creature. 

A pencilled note on the front cover, by a former owner reads,—An attack upon 
Fitzpatrick who afterwards revenged himself by heading the very serious riots against 
Garrick in 1763. The rioters carried their point, their object being to compel Garrick 
to accept half price after the third act. 


555. [Garrick (Davip).] The Sick Monkey, a Fable. 4to, new boards. 
London, 1765 
First Epition. With half-title. Published by the author shortly after his return 
from the Continent, in anticipation of the trouble he expected over the publication 
of his pamphlet on “A Dialogue in the Green Room, upon the Disturbance in the Pit,” 
his object being to show that he was not disturbed by the Fitzpatrick pamphlets that 
had appeared during and before his absence. 
With engraved plate, containing portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Garrick, inserted.

The “Letter,” which ends on page 92, is signed “Richard Warner.” Contains the 
“Leaf of Errata.” Inserted is an engraved plate containing portraits of Mr. and Mrs. 
Garrick. 

A note on front cover, in autograph of a former owner, reads,—Uncut. Rare. 
The book was written at Woodford Row—Essex—and dated Jany. 1st, 1768—Nothing 
1s known of Warner. 


557. [GARRICK (Davip).] Some Reflections on the Management of a Theatre 
8vo, new boards, uncut. London: Printed for J. Cooke [1770] 


FINE Copy. A note on front cover, in pencil, reads,—This extremely rare tract is a 
bitter attack on Garrick’s methods as a manager, his duty to the public, &c. The author 
who is unknown, claims that he has endeavoured to show Garrick in a true light, and leaves 
it to the public to decide whether or not his behaviour is consistent with his duty to the 
Players, Authors, and Audience. Evidently the production of someone with a grievance 


558. GARRICK (Davip). [WiLL1amMs (Rev. Davip—Editor).] A Letter to David 
Garrick, Esq. on his Conduct as Principal Manager and Actor at Drury- 
Lane. With a Preface and Notes, by the Editor. Second Edition. 4to, 
new boards, uncut. London [1770]

VERY FINE SET OF THE ORIGINAL EDITION, COMPLETE, with the addition of Vol-

The period of the “letters” is that at the close of the Middle Ages, the time of the 
revival of learning, the discovery of America, and the invention of printing. The 
nature of the correspondence is so comprehensive, that true judgment of the social 
state of England at that time may be formed. It is the human interest which con- 


_ stitutes the charm of these memorials; the historical which constitutes their chief 
value.

Engraved portrait and plate. 12mo, contemporary calf. Enclosed in full

London: Printed for J. Jackson (etc.) [1730] 


UNIQUE Copy. This work differs in title and collation from the copy of “SPILLER’S 
Jests” belonging to the late GEORGE DANIEL, and differs also in title from his copy 
of “The Comedian’ s Tales,” which is the page-heading of this volume. It seems to 
be an edition of “The Comedian’s Tales” made up to take advantage of the use of 
MR. SPILLER’S name, which at that time (just following his decease) was potent. 
Although Mr. DANIEL (than whom was no better authority) states that he never 
was able to trace any other copy than his own of either the “Jests” or the “Tales,” we 
now know that the BRITISH MUSEUM possesses one of the former; but THis Copy
